Who cares what light fixtures I decide to install?
It may be a deal breaker!
There are so many choices in light fixtures to choose from today. Where do I begin? Everything from simple single bulb fixtures to elaborate, fashionable metal finishes. There are literally thousands of options to take into consideration, it depends on many factors.
Some considerations in choosing a light fixture to install:
Are you selling your home?
Is this an investment property?
Will it match the existing finishes in the home?
Is it enough light for the room?
Does it fit the style of the room?
Is it energy efficient?
Are the bulbs easy to reach?
Is the fixture easy to clean?
Are the bulbs readily available?
Can I get help installing the light fixture?
Will it add value to the home?
Is it a fixture that will be seen.
Is it a popular look that others will wish to keep?
Can I get it at a discount?
When it comes time to purchase a new light fixture, there are a lot of things to consider. The options in light fixtures are a personal choice.
This is true Kathy. There is no way the builder can anticipate which light fixture the buyers will want. It will be a simple average light that will help sell the home to the buyer.
I don't hink I've seen one of those gizmos, now I'm curious.

Bliz, saving money can cost you money! Why not get a nice fixture that adds to the room.
Thanks for the feedback today.
She needs a friend Than, someone who can break the news to her gently.

You bring up good points Gary. Very often it's the simple things that can make the big difference in the home.
The light fixture should not be an obstuction in the room Donald.
This can be a problem for the banks and selling agents Wayne.
The considerations can very from person to person, each lighting area is also unique Debbie.
Thanks for bringing humor to an otherwise "dark" subject Paula. :)
Every fixture has a special purpose Richie.
Thanks for the feedback.
There are a lot of things to take into account Chris.
That makes sense Adrian.
They will probably keep them for 7 years also Cindy. :)
Ahhh, I've been waiting for your weakness Debbie.
Funny how styles and trends change Tammie.
Tom - For me it's look and price that help me to decide which light fixtures I want.
That sounds like the best criteria Christine.
thanks for the feedback!
Thanks John!
Unfortunately buyers can't see beyond outdated or ugly light fixtures, even they are all easily changeable.
Seeing beyond the fixtures can be a real money saver Dave.
